Aviation is committed to decarbonisation, but Europe is falling behind in scaling up Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Without decisive action, increasing SAF imports will drive up costs for consumers, weaken energy independence, and shift clean energy jobs outside the EU. A new report by ICF, commissioned by Europe’s aviation industry, outlines seven key measures to fast-track SAF production and ensure Europe leads in this emerging sector. Among them: 📌 Risk-sharing mechanisms (e.g., Contracts for Difference) to unlock investment and lower costs. 📌 Stronger financial support for advanced SAF facilities through grants and loans. 📌 Prioritising access to feedstocks and renewable electricity to ensure competitive SAF production. 📌 Refining existing policies (ReFuelEU flexibility, ETS allowances) to create a stable market. The Clean Industrial Deal and Sustainable Transport Investment Plan represent key moments for European policymakers to act. With the right measures in place, Europe can strengthen its SAF industry, secure its leadership in clean aviation, and support a competitive energy transition.

How will new funding accelerate sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in the UK? The Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom has announced an additional £63 million in funding to support SAF producers through a one-year extension of the Advanced Fuels Fund. This initiative aims to create jobs and establish a stronger SAF supply chain for UK airlines, reinforcing the country’s commitment to reducing aviation emissions. The announcement follows the recent enforcement of the UK’s SAF mandate and the government’s pledge to introduce a Revenue Certainty Mechanism to support producers. To date, the Advanced Fuels Fund has allocated £135 million to SAF projects, with the latest funding round winners announced in January 2024. As the industry moves toward net-zero aviation, how impactful do you think this funding will be in scaling SAF production?

UK Announces Mandatory 10% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by 2030! ✈️ Great news for sustainable aviation! The Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom has confirmed a mandate requiring all departing flights to use 10% SAF by 2030. This mandate will see minimum UK SAF demand grow from around 240kt per year in 2025 to 1,200kt per year by 2030. In addition, the UK government will mandate PtL SAF (eSAF) starting at 0.2% in 2028. 👏 UK Mandate PtL Highlights: 📌 PtL (eSAF) mandate to begin in 2028 at 0.2% of total jet fuel demand, increasing to 0.5% in 2030 and 3.5% in 2040. 📌 Buy-out mechanism guidance is included in the mandate, benefiting suppliers and consumers. We are inspired to see the UK government's commitment to the development of PtL fuels, which achieve ~100% GHG emissions reductions, and are a vital part of the UK's aviation decarbonisation strategy. Arcadia eFuels, a leader in PtL SAF production, is positioned to contribute significantly to this ambitious initiative with ongoing projects in the UK, Europe and USA. Additional Mandate Milestones: 📌 Aims to supply 1.2 million tonnes of SAF annually to UK airlines. 📌 HEFA cap introduced, encouraging development of new advanced SAF technologies. 📌 Price controls in place to minimize passenger impact. 📌 Consultation launched for a SAF revenue certainty scheme to support fuel producers. This move supports a cleaner future for UK aviation, jobs, and travel! Congratulations to the entire team at DfT. Read more about the mandate below and let us know your thoughts in the comments. #SustainableAviation #SAF #eSAF #PtL #UK #CleanEnergy #ArcadiaeFuels #RefuelEU #AdvancedFuelsFund #UKDfT #energytransition #decarbonisation #JetZeroCouncil

The U.S. Department of Energy has released its latest Pathways to Commercial Liftoff report, focusing on the potential of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to significantly decarbonize the aviation industry. The report outlines how announced SAF projects could add over 3 billion gallons of annual production capacity by 2030, representing over $44 billion in investments and creating 70,000 jobs across the SAF value chain. Despite these promising developments, cost remains the greatest challenge, with SAF currently priced 2–10 times higher than conventional jet fuel. The report emphasizes the need for federal and state incentives, long-term agreements, and international policy coordination to scale production and meet the U.S. SAF Grand Challenge targets. https://lnkd.in/gA9vQKT2 At NXTClean Fuels we are dedicated to developing sustainable aviation fuel that is accessible. #SustainableAviationFuel #CleanEnergy #Aviation #Decarbonization #DOE #NXTCleanFuels
